From the Gospel according to Luke (3,1-6)

In the fifteenth year of the empire of Tiberius Caesar, while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetràrca of Galilee, and Philip, his brother, tetràrca of Iturèa and Traconìtide, and Lysània tetràrca dell’Abilène, under the high priests Anna and Caiaphas, the word of God came upon John, son of Zaccharia, in the desert.
He traveled throughout the Jordan region, preaching a baptism of conversion for the forgiveness of sins, as it is written in the book of oracles of the prophet Isaiah:
“Voice of one crying in the desert:
Prepare the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight!
Every ravine will be filled,
every mountain and every hill will be lowered;
the winding ways will become straight
and those impervious, leveled.
Every man will see the salvation of God! ».

Word of the Lord
